Abstract
Background: This review is dedicated to providing a comprehensive understanding of the foundational principles of OCT, tracing its progression from time-domain to Fourier-domain methodologies, and examining the substantial advancements that have profoundly transformed its role in ophthalmological diagnostics.
Material and Methods: Our methodology involves a comprehensive literature review. The review begins with a meticulous exploration of the fundamental principles of OCT, delving into its profound connection with the wave-like nature of light. We then proceed with an in-depth examination of the progression of OCT methodologies, tracing their journey from time-domain to Fourier-domain. This is followed by an exhaustive discussion of the most recent advancements in OCT technology, including the emergence of vis-OCT, AO-OCT, PS-OCT, High-Res OCT, and FFOCT.
Results: Since its inception, OCT has undergone several evolutions, with each advancement contributing to improved image resolution, increased acquisition speed, and enhanced imaging depth. These technological advancements have allowed for a more precise and early detection of various ocular conditions. Furthermore, innovations such as vis-OCT, AO-OCT, and others, have demonstrated their potential in expanding OCT's diagnostic capabilities.
Conclusions: The continual evolution and refinement of OCT technology underscore its critical role in enhancing our understanding of the eye's microstructure and contribute to more effective diagnostic strategies and targeted interventions for various ocular pathologies. As OCT technology continues to evolve, it promises an exciting future for eye care, with possibilities for even more advanced imaging techniques, better diagnostics, and improved patient care.
